The end of another era...

 Pilots love to fly it and movie lovers can't get enough of it, 
but it's Bye-Bye Birdie for the F/A-18...  

Even “Top Gun” couldn't save the F/A-18 Super Hornet. 
Boeing announced Thursday that it expects to end production of the fighter jet in late 2025 after a final delivery to the U.S. Navy. Production of the plane could be stretched out to 2027 if India places an order, the company said.
The first F/A-18 debuted in 1983 and was built by McDonnell Douglas, which merged with Boeing in 1997. More than 2,000 Hornets, Super Hornets and Growlers have been delivered to the U.S. military and the governments of many allies, including Canada, Finland, Australia and Malaysia.

It was 89 here yesterday afternoon and it was snowing 
in Los Angeles. Must be climate change.

Not about the date, but the number of years. Guys shouldn't 
be made to remember shit like this. Juss' sayin'...

This was an actual headline lead-in on a semi-normal news outlet's front page this morning. Think deep and hard about this: Why would any of us normal human beings ever give a fuck about what's worrying a bunch of queer cross-dressers? And more importantly, I think, is who at and why would this supposedly 'reputable' news outlet think we give a shit? 
I'm starting to believe that there is just entirely too much information out there. Is this what that internet was made for? 'Cause if it was, maybe it's just another way to waste people's time. Kinda like reading blogs. Fuck.

Three high school seniors from rural Texas raised more than a quarter 
of a million dollars so their 80-year-old school custodian could retire again. Callisburg High School students Greyson Thurman, Marti Yousko and Banner Tidwell launched a GoFundMe campaign for the janitor, “Mr. James,” on Feb. 15. 
Thurman posted a TikTok showing the elderly man cleaning the hallway with a link to the fundraiser, and within less than two weeks, the viral post raised more than $270,000 from over 8,600 donors. “This is our 80 y/o janitor who had his rent raised and had to come back to work. Let’s help Mr. James out,” text over the video read. “No one his age should have to be cleaning our messes up to continue to live.”

These four news items were presented together on a Google news page. They're all stories about real estate, and they're all almost completely contradictory of each other. Interesting, n'est pas? THAT is exactly why you should never, ever believe what you read if you only get one side of a story. That's how people like Joe Biden get elected.

Spring training is upon us. Life is good.

In the airport in Vienna they have a miniature model 
of every plane that has landed or departed from it. 
And you think you have a cool job? Think about 
the guy who got to put this whole thing together.
